Blue screen!!
Anita du Preez:
I read the sticky written by Beosboxboy at the top of this thread, twice! The problem that I am (still) encountering is the following: During gameplay the screen turns blue but the hourglass is rotating. Most of the times I can still hear the sound of what was/is currently going on in my game. After a while the screen comes back and the game can continue. At times this happens when I am trying to save the game. Mostly though, it happens during play. Sometimes,though not that often, the game crashes totally.
I run my PC on WindowsXP Prof, have an AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor3200+ 2.00GHz 1.00 GB Ram, and Nvidia GeForce7600GS.If the driver that is installed with the game is the right one, I suppose I have that too.
I do have custom content in my game,and hacks - mostly those done by Squinge, and a few by DJSims. All with the green light that they are compattible with Seasons.I have removed them and put them back one by one. The problem persists!
I am getting very frustrated by this occurence, and I do hope that there would be an answer to my problem!!:sad4:
Anita du Preez:
No, I spent quite a lot of money to upgrade it. Did so last year September. But with technology changing so fast, it may be considered by some as old. I'm not to sure what screencard I have in my PC. Will check it out.
nicky689:
I would attempt to upgrade your driver for your graphics card as these need updating regularly.
I had this problem and was solved.
Simsane:
I have this problem as well and I have read about this problem at many different Sims2 websites, include EA's bbs. According to a post at EA's tech forum, this is happening with many Nvidia cards, and Nvidia is trying to fix the problem. From nicky689's post, I get the impression that perhaps they have. I'll have to check to see if my driver needs updating, but I did update it as soon as I installed Seasons (about a week after it came out) so I am not sure there is a newer driver available. Good luck!
LittleRed:
Yes, mine does this as well when it starts snowing or raining. I am also using a NVIDIA Geforce FX 5500 PCI 256Mb Video Card. I have a new Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS 256MB coming (got it new off eBay brand new for 60.00 including shipping!).
I wish I would have know Nvidia was having this issue....I would have gotten another brand of card.
I have also noticed that when I fish...I cannot see the fish on the ground or in the pond or fish tanks etc...even w/shaders on/off.
My computer is well up to date with everything else...I was hoping the newer graphics card would help solve the problem....perhaps not. :(
